This is small boutique hotel in a great location. Cozy, but very functional rooms with nice amenities. Modern well stocked bathrooms. Located in a nice diverse neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and shops. Close to several Metro stops which makes it easy to see the sites in Paris. Walking distance to the Opera and Galleries Lafayette. Get the breakfast option which includes a large variety of items and is very convenient. The staff are friendly and helpful.
